A Little Child Leads. It was one evening during the second week of the "Let God Speak" tent  meetings that an usher, Carlene Miller, met little Sameka Gay, who had come early and sat beside the usher. The curiosity of this little eight-year-old girl was satisfied when Mrs. Miller explained the points of doctrine on the Pledge card that was given to persons preparing for baptism. After listening to the explanation Mrs. Miller gave, Sameka said she wanted to be baptized. And when the evangelist made a call for those who had decided to follow Jesus in baptism, she went forward and was among the 228 persons baptized on Sabbath, October 4, 2003. Sameka Gay stands out as a child who was saved to serve. Following her baptism early that day, Sameka showed up for the evening service at the tent dressed in her usher’s uniform. As she moved up and down the aisles of her area under the tent distributing cards, pencils, and Bibles, one could not help but notice the joy and satisfaction with which this new born babe in Christ carried out her assignment. If this initial involvement in the work of the Lord is any indication of her commitment and willingness to serve, Sameka is going to be a powerful witness for the Lord as she grows in the faith.

Although only a child, Sameka has demonstrated that children who commit themselves to Jesus can serve in various capacities in the evangelistic work of the church. We congratulate Sameka and all the children who were baptized during this campaign. As she reflected on the sincerity of this little child, Mrs. Miller said, "From the moment she walked into the tent, I thought there was something special about her." Let us pray that these children of the King will continue to grow in the knowledge of the Scriptures and in favor with God and man.
